VICTORIA PEAK HONG KONG: BEST VIEWS & GETTING THERE

Victoria Peak, widely known as The Peak, is a hill in Hong Kong where masses of people ascend 1,811 ft to capture the beautiful and stunning panoramic views of Hong Kong’s skyline—especially the views of the Victoria Harbour. Right at Victoria Peak, they constructed a multi-story building that houses a historical gallery, Peak Tower, Madame Tussaud’s, Madness 3D Adventure, and at the very top the famous Sky Terrace 428—where the best views are seen.

This is arguably the most visited attraction in Hong Kong—over seven million people a year endure the ‘just above the comfort level’ wait on the queue for the Peak Tram to transport them to Victoria Peak.
